The kind of energy you want to be around
There’s something about Hilary that makes you smile before you’ve even rolled out your mat. Maybe it’s her contagious laugh, her wonderful positivity, or the way she makes everyone feel they belong. Irish-born and at home in France for more than two decades, Hilary is a yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, and certified breathwork coach. But what stays with you most is how generously she shares her energy, both on and off the mat.
Room to move, laugh, and just be yourself
With Hilary, yoga can be energizing morning Vinyasa, a beautifully slow evening Yin practice, or an optional Asana Lab where you explore an arm balance or an inversion with curiosity rather than pressure. She knows how to encourage you to try something new and just as importantly, to enjoy where you are today. There’s room for laughter, connection, and the occasional wobble.
Where it all began: Hilary × Leyana
Hilary was Leyana’s very first cheerleader and partner. She believed in what I was creating from the start, and we’ve been bringing our shared love of yoga, connection, and beautiful experiences to life ever since. From Normandy in 2025 to Sologne in May 2026, we’re now onto our third sold-out retreat together! With more than half of Hilary’s participants returning, it’s been such a joy to watch this wonderful community grow.
It all started with a text from Pam: ‘You should do a retreat, and I’ll help you organize it.’ That one message turned into one of the best partnerships I’ve had. Watching Leyana Retreats take off, with multiple retreats already lined up for 2027, has been genuinely exciting. Pam is a brilliant host, a fearless and savvy organizer, and a true friend, she turns work into fun! Cannot wait to see where we take this next.
